Johnnie Cake.

Description

Johnnie Cake.

Sift into a pan one quart of Indian meal, and, making a hole in the
middle, pour in a pint of warm water, and add a teaspoonful of
salt. Mix the meal and water with a spoon into a soft dough; then stir
very briskly for a quarter of an hour or more, till it becomes light
and spongy. The dough must next be spread evenly on a straight, flat
board, and the board be placed nearly upright before an open fire,
with some support to hold it in position. Bake well; when done, cut
into squares; send hot to table, split and buttered.
